Mohamed Kamal magekali19dd15 — http://tanateeesh.blogspot.com/2009/0... كتاب من قلائل الكتب اللى بتأثّر فيا .. نوعية معينة من الكتابة بتخربش فى قلبى وبتُنهك تفكيرى لأنها عادة بتفاجئنى بكلام ممكن يكون بيلخص حالة من التخبط بحسها كتير وبلمسها فى غيرى من الناس.. احساس بانسانيتك ومحاولة للبحث عن ماهيتك وتثبيت ادراكك للحياة كاتب بتؤرقه ذكرياته وحياته فيقرر انه يكتب عنها فى محاولة بديلة للانتحار مش هدفه ذكر أحداث تاريخية قد ما يهمه انه يوصل الصوت.ان تظل الذاكرة حية حتى لا ننسى الماضى وننغمس فى الحاضر ولا نملك وقت للتفكير نفس الاحساس اللى ربما فشلت فى ترجمته ولكن هوا حوله بقلمه الى صوت مسموع بالرغم من ادعائى قدرتى على التعبير ولكن بتفضل حاجات جوايا بيصعب عليا شرحها وتفسيرها حتى لنفسى أحياناً كلامه عن الذاكرة لما بيقول : " مع ذاكرتى أحارب .. آخر معاركى ، وفيها لا أقبل الهزيمة" " كل ما أريده هو أن يكون لى ذاكرة لا تعرف الصفح أو النسيان ، ذاكرة لا تقبل العزاء" وكلامه عن التفكير لما بيقول: " اكتشاف التفكير كأنه الوقوع فى الحب. الموضوع لا جسد له، مطلق، منتشر فى كل الكائنات ولذة التفكير والاكتشاف تقود الى غابات وسهول خضراء بلا حدود ، تسمعنى موسيقى الوجود بكراً ، تولد لأول مرة، تذيقنى خمراً هى الثقة بالنفس والتواجد فى مركز الوجود" " تعلمت أن أحب الكلمات. تعلمت ألا أرددها دون فهم أو ادراك. فهم الكلمات ومحبتها كان هو المفتاح السحرى الذى يقودنى الى بهجة العقل ونعيم الفهم والتفكير" "لم يعد أمامى سوى أن اقوم أنا بالاكتشاف الشخصى لمعانى كل تلك الكلمات وغيرها.. شخصى بمعنى أن أعرف المعنى داخلى وفوق أرضى، أن أعانى البحث وأن اتصور الفهم يلمع فى داخلى" "أعاند أن تضيع حياتى وكلماتى وأفعالى بين العبث وضرورة الرسالة" مشكلتى هيا الحاح المعرفة.. التى دائما ما أشعر بأنها وتر مشدود ما بين رغبة صادقة فى الوصول للحقيقة ومقاومة الاستسلام لمحاولات التغييب المستمرة ومابين رهبة مواجهتها مشكلتى هيا حقيقة وجودى.. الحلم الذى لا يكف عن مطاردتى ومحاولاتى الدائمة ألا أفقد الانتماء معاناة أن تكتشف لنفسك فى كل يوم هدف تسعى لتحقيقه وأن تقاوم الشعور بالوحدة والغربة فوق وطن يرغمك أن تعيشه مشكلتى هيا البحث عن انسان يستحق وسط عالم ملىء بالمتناقضات أو زى ما هوا بيقول " الانسان الذى يدفئنى بالقرب منه أو يحركنى وجوده الأصيل" مشكلتى التى لا رغبة لدى فى التخلص منها ولا توقع فى مدى امكانية احتمالها، فقط استعير كلماته وأقول "هى صفاتى وأنا أحملها تهمة لا أنكرها وشرف استطيع بصعوبة أن أدعيه"

李 莫愁 _e_er9 — Funny and good

Lucy Morgan _ucy_organ — This is my favorite novel. Nabokov's writing style is staggering, his storytelling equally powerful. I can never get over the fact that English is not his native tongue, because he uses it with more beauty and poetry than most writers I've read. Most people can recite a handful of literature's famous first lines ("It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," "Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself," "In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since," and so on), but few memorize the first four full paragraphs of a novel. All true Nabokov fans know the following by heart: "Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. "She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita. "Did she have a precursor? She did, indeed she did. In point of fact, there might have been no Lolita at all had I not loved, one summer, a certain initial girl-child. In a princedom by the sea. Oh when? About as many years before Lolita was born as my age was that summer. You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns." Always beautiful to my ears. Lee

Deys 2013 deys — Better than I expected. I kept putting it off because I just didn't think a kids toys being real and killing people was scary, especially after seeing the Chucky movies. But it was better. Some of the characters completely break down when the shit hits the fan to where you want to shake them violently and scream in their faces to smarten up. Was definitely my least favorite King book.

Sofia Vila-coro sofiavilacoro — This is definitely one of my favourite Heyers. The hero and heroine are both Heyer staples - he wealthy, titled, handsome, talented and confident; she plain, sensible, genteel but not overly wealthy, intelligent but not academic. She still managed to make both of them quite likeable, though. St Erth is quiet and reserved, which makes his confidence and assurance bearable, while Drusilla does not really occupy enough space in the novel to make her presence irksome. For as with most of the best of Heyer's work, she focuses as much on the cast of supporting characters as she does on the romantic leads. The Dowager Countess was a delightful horror, and Lucy was a pet. I was rather amused at how Heyer didn't even trouble to hide her opinion of people with republican principles; she really was an unreconstructed monarchist. Racist too, of course; though thankfully that doesn't crop up in this volume.

Ahmed Rashad _hmed_ashad — Best-selling author Lisa See's "Shanghai Girls" covers a 20-year period in the lives of two sisters, Pearl and May, during their lives in both China and the United States. Our initial introduction to the two girls shows a well-to-do family with traditional parents and daughters yearning to be modern -- they work as artists' models for a painter who creates "beautiful girl" advertising images. The girls are sold into marriage to satisfy the father's debts, on the eve of the Japanese invasion of China. Their parents are murdered, and yet they escape the country and come to San Francisco's Angel Island immigration station. There, they are detained for several months. The younger daughter, May, has a baby during that time and asks Pearl to pass the infant off as her own because she has never had intercourse with the man whom she married -- the man whose United States citizenship will eventually get them out of the immigration station and into Los Angeles' small Chinatown. When the girls arrive in Los Angeles, nothing is as they were promised. The family that they were told was quite wealthy lives in squalor, for example. Three generations live in a small apartment and work in the father-in-law's various businesses. The challenges of adjusting to a new culture and family life are detailed throughout the rest of the book. See writes intelligently about the challenges of immigrants to the US during the time of the Chinese Exclusion Act, anti-miscegenation laws and legalized racial discrimination. She also details the situation of first-generation immigrants trying to cling to the old customs and traditions as their children try to reject them entirely. This novel was gripping from page one until the very end, which left me wanting more, Well worth reading. (Review based on Advance Readers Copy.)

Stefano Coviello stecoviello — intriguing book, it's hard to stop reading it. Bitter in some parts, but magnetic.

Shohidul Islam firoz_009 — Awesome book! Totally worth reading! Finished it in 8 hours. Good for anyone sci-fi fan or not. Read!!!!!!!!!

Marimba Rojas marimbarojas — I can't believe it's over. I have been with this series since the start. I waited a year in between each book and now it's over. It's sad that there won't be any more books, but at the same time I won't have to wait a whole year for the next one. However, it's incredibly sad to have to say goodbye to all of the characters I have grown to love. Shadows in the Silence was the perfect end to the trilogy. It was filled with laughs, tears, and sweet moments. In it you can see how much Ellie has grown as a character and the lengths she goes to to protect her friends and the earth. spoilers below don't read if you haven't read the book. (view spoiler) Overall Shadows in the Silence gets five starts from me, because there was never a dull moment and the characters were written so well. I am sad to see this series coming to an end, but I am so glad that I discovered Angelfire two years ago otherwise I would have missed out on this amazing series.

Niclas Sandgren misterpowe5ddc — We listened to this on tape and the kids just never got really interested. It seemed cute, but perhaps the stand-alone chapters didn't grab their attention enough. Ah well.

Angus Macleod angusmacleod — wow, if you haven't read this you must. can't wait for the next book. I stayed up till 8AM to finish this book.
